Not possible

You can't put ADSL over an ISDN line, PRI or otherwise.

ADSL works over PSTN because it uses frequencies which are mostly outside the range of human hearing, and the microfilters deal with any overlap.

A PRI channel has only 64k of bandwidth available to it, it doesn't have the available frequency overhead that is required for an ADSL connection.

Hmmm

I'm sorry that you were in an accident, but I call BS on this.

If you were on the road, then it wasn't deserted. And if it was dry and straight, how did he not see you? Were you driving in the middle lane, doing 40 without your lights on at night?

And even if you *were* doing 40MPH on a deserted motorway - this is a dangerous speed, as you're doing between 50-60% of the speed of most traffic and if he then hit you at 80MPH then it's extremely unlikely that you'd walk away with barely a scratch. Was the Porche a write-off? Was he killed?

Or are you saying you were doing 70MPH, and therefore he hit you at 140MPH?

So lets assume you're telling the truth - the reason for the accident is one of the two of you were driving like a nob.

Speed, and speed alone, doesn't cause accidents - bad driving causes accidents. If the accident happened at 90, then it will have happened at 70 as well.

Why do you people not reply in-thread? Is it so that people won't notice your 'reply', not respond and so it looks like you won the argument?

Yankdar

My Yankdar is going off again.

You must have been in Valencia in the 1980s. Modern Diesels are quiet and refined with only a hint of rattle. There is no way that you heard a new S-Class over the sound of your own engine - none - zlich. Unless you were riding a bicycle. Or he was doing 80MPH in second gear.

The new small 1.2l - 1.6l TDi engines do rattle a fair bit - especially the Bluemotion ones but not the 2-4l power houses they put in high end Mercs/VAG/Beemers

Diesels have more torque, lower CO2 emissions*, Less Tax (VED) for equivalent Power, WAY better fuel consumption**, last longer ***, can run on nearly anything****, and retain their value for longer*****. What's not to like?

* yes yes they have higher NO2 among other things, but when you take into account that a diesel will probably have an on-the-road life nearly double that of an equivalent petrol, and the pollution caused by the manufacture of that second petrol car - well you get the idea.

** Even taking the higher cost of Diesel into account - yes

*** Yes the servicing is slightly more expensive - but not massively so like some make out - and as I've said - the car will last probably twice as long.

***** Just not the French ones...

@Anonymous Twit

"-there is a hint that the reviewer drove above the speed limit. If the review was conducted in the UK, that is an admission of guilt which ought to interest the police."

STFU you middle lane hogging git. (I'm assuming a bit there - but the MO fits)

He doesn't state where he drove - but for all you know it could have been on a deserted, dry, straight motorway. Still technically illegal, but hurting no-one.

"-fuel economy suffers from aggressive acceleration and driving above 70mph, both of which this vehicle appears to emphasise"

Not always - my 03 Golf TDi gets better MPG at 85 than at 70.

And I'd much prefer a car with more accelerating potential in the 40 - 90MPH range - all the better for overtaking YOU doing 45 MPH on a 50 road.

For one thing it is a damn sight safer to be able to put your foot down and get past someone before the 18Wheeler runs you down.

-all "green" cars take up as much space as "brown" cars.

And you take up as much space as the next person - what's your point?

"-the overall CO2 footprint of the VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda portfolio is pretty weak. Yes, they hype their bluemotion, but BMW have made far better progress in reducing their average CO2 emission rate than VAG have. The BlueMotion product line is essentially there to look eco-smug -at a premium- rather than fix the efficiency of the total fleet."

They've made better PROGRESS, that doesn't make it better overall.

That's because BMW have only just (<10 years) started making smaller, more efficient cars... i.e. 1 Series and Mini. VAG always have made smaller cars, and so their only improvements are to existing lines.

If Bugatti suddenly added a 1-series Efficient-Dynamics type car to their lineup, then their PROGRESS would be vastly better than the two wouldn't it?

Not all of them.

The Polo definitely is, the old (mk5) Golf definitely wasn't... Not sure about the new one without consulting the big G.

Basically any car with CO2 emissions < 100g/km is free - although that is likely to change.

New Keyboard Please!

3Dr Landies

Yes, sorry I should have clarified - of course landies have come in 3dr before... Hell my Step Dad has a classic 3Dr SWB. LOL

I was referring more to it being a 3Dr Coupe.

@ AC: Widescreen

"Widescreen came about because t.v.'s were using the same 4:3 aspect ratio that films were using. To distinguish itself from television and maintaining it's market, the film industry began to move to widescreen. It also began to expand the use of colour."

What a load of bollocks.

The 4:3 ratio came about because it was the widest ratio that was possible with the technology at the time (Early CRT). If they had had the tech back then it would have been a wider ratio right from the get go - the reason for widescreen is that human vision is about that proportion.

It is far easier to get widescreen ratio using a projector than with a CRT, which is why cinema went that way first.

Don't just make stuff up - it makes you look like a twat.

Sledgehammers and nuts.

Surely you'd be better simply connecting your console to a second input on the screen, or if it doesn't have one, using a £10 HDMI / DVI switch.

Or were you referring to playing your console in a window on your desktop, which I would have thought would be an awful experience.

Land Shark

I hope the Land Shark has lasers too... Surgically implanted in its head of course.

@NixKnacks It's called IRONY dimwit.

Woah - my Yank-dar just went crazy.

Here's a tip: .co.uk means this is a UK site, and that means Satire, Irony and other forms of humour will be used.

That article - for el'Reg - was actually EXTREMELY factual, with hardly any opinions at all.

The comment at the end was IRONY - go look it up, numbskull.

hmmmm

Better that they look like they're of 'Win95 vintage' (which they don't) than have THAT FUCKING RIBBON!!!!

AAAAAAAAARGHHH!!!!!!!!

No self respecting Cisco Engineer uses the GUI (except where there's no other option - e.g. ACS </digress>

Correct Wheel Drive

Forgive me, but are you referring to the 1-series being Rear Wheel Drive?

These are great fun to drive hard (and is great for track days) but as soon as you get a bit of snow it's fecking useless without snow chains.

Last winter, with only a single exception, every tailback / incident that I saw was caused by either BMWs, Mercs or other RWD vehicles which had zero grip and were trying to drive in the snow.

One incident on the M4 Eastbound near Newport was caused by a woman in a CLK who got stuck on a 10% incline and couldn't get moving again, she was just spinning in the middle lane with her rear-end waving from side to side like a disgruntled moggy. This caused a 20 mile tailback of Stationary traffic which lasted for over 6 hours. (One of my work colleagues was stuck in it on his way home, I was going West - smiling quietly to myself.)

For gods sake all you Beemer and Merc (and other RWD vehicles) - this winter, either buy snowchains/socks, get a 1/2 tonne of ballast in your boot, or please, stay the fuck off the road.

@Anonymous Twit

Really?

Seriously?

How many Common rail or PD engined Diesel engines were there in the 1980s? Ummmm NONE

And do you think that the corrosive and poisonous chemicals released during the manufacture of those batteries is any better? Don't listen to the American Oil Companies - they lie more than politicians... Well considering most US politicians are OWNed by them that's unsurprising.

And the Diesel engine was invented in the 1890's by the way.

@TeeCee

I will NOT!

I R boffin damnit (Although more BOFHin than Boffin nowadays :-)

You are correct that the Ampera does now partially connect the generator to the planetary gear system - but only at 'high speed' (what that means exactly hasn't been stated)

The Ampera will happily go from 0 to 60 without any direct linkage, and will drive on electric only up to 80Km with using a single drop of dino juice.

--"In certain areas HSD is rather better than the GM tech as it can actually recharge the battery using the engine, something the Volt/Ampera does not do if reports are to be believed (if so, WHY?). "

I'm afraid those reports are wrong... It does recharge the battery, but doesn't - by design - charge it past a certain limit - the reason is that generating electricity from dino-juice is more expensive, both in money and CO2 than from the grid. If electrical energy is needed that isn't available in the battery then it will fire up, but why burn money recharging the battery any more than it needs to?

I can see your point about fleet drivers never plugging the thing in, but you can come up with scenarios that make anything look uneconomical... If I drive my Golf at 80MPH in 3rd gear with the A/C on full and the windows down, I'll get shit economy too.

Or for a better example - I bet most of those A4s and 5-Series drive around with Sport Mode switched on constantly too.

I direct you to the Ampera blog - which while very much self-serving (obviously) is extremely interesting reading, and explains many of the design decisions they've taken.

Holy Crap

Assumptions

You are assuming 1Cell = 1Bit

You may be correct, but I highly doubt it... This is arguably an early implementation of Quantum Tech... and previous news stories have talked about the possibility of using this tech not just to store binary on/off 1/0 values, but much more.

Even being able to store values between 0-255 per cell (8 bits binary equiv) brings the power consumption down to a much more manageable 10 MW/Gig ;-)

Anyhoo... the cell doesn't require power at all times - only when reading and writing.

It can't possibly have been a significant victory...

Virtually no Americans were involved, and we all know they won the war for us.

</satire>

RAID

Hehe - Yeah you could, but you'd need mega space, and like you say - power to drive it - which means more heat, and more fans etc.

Does anyone know the answer to my original Q? Does this appear to the PC BIOS as a drive / array or not?

I want to know, as my palm reader told me I'm going to win the Euro-Millions this week and I've no reason not to believe her.

Title

and the passenger can watch THEIR TV or video at the same time

Sigh?

Funny that as I've commissioned dozens of Pen tests, and you are correct that you have to specify what you want them to test.

In this case it would have been...

"We've installed this video system in this test police car using this technology, which is accessed using a 3g modem over this network - These are the IP addreses - Please attempt: Unauthorised access to data, Unauthorised Access to configuration, remote manipulation of data, DoS vulnerabilities, attempt to break encryption, brute force passwords, list open ports etc etc etc"

Any Decent Pen test company will carry out an entire glut of tests on their own too. You don't have to specify everything down to the most minute detail of what they should test, otherwise what the hell is the point of paying an external company to do it for you?

A Pen test should have been carried out on this setup in a test environment BEFORE being deployed into real police Cars...

No one suggested that the PEN test would be the first step, or that the normal project flow not be followed... what have you been drinking?

Also, this can't possibly have been the real Pen test, as information gathered by Pen Testers is confidential - he would have been in breach of his contract to release the information in such a manner. Either that of the Contract written up for him will have been like swiss cheese.

Oh Dear

Benny Hill... Are you serious?

That is slapstick shite. Why when you mention British comedy do you people always jump to Benny Hill... You should be embarrassed.

Should have put the Joke Alert Icon on mate.

How else do the 'merkins know when you are kidding?

I am assuming it was a Yank who downvoted you - they seem to be the only people on the planet incapable of detecting satire!

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

Perhaps.

But we aren't generally referring to home users here.

Personally I was referring to people in office buildings who write down passwords and stick them to their monitors and keyboards etc. We had to fire a member of staff not too long ago for habitually writing down passwords, and leaving them in plain sight (in public areas!)

Also your solution of writing down passwords (and presumably usernames and site names too) doesn't help you when you aren't at home.

An encrypted password vault, for example on your mobile would be a far better solution.

If you also install remote shredding software you are protected even if your mobile is nicked too.

Stealer Servicing

That's why.

Look at the Chevvy/Opal/Vauxhaull Volt/Ampera.

This WAS going to be exactly as you describe - Dino-Drive Generator which generated electricity to charge the batteries and/or feed the leccy motors. It would have been wonderful.

However they recently announced that the engine *WOULD* infact also be coupled directly to the drive system, which means gearboxes, clutches, planetary gears or some other method of applying physical force from the engine, plus all the synchronising hardware / software that would have not been necessary before.

I'm sure they had their reasons, but to me it was fekkin stupid (or was done to protect their Vehicle Servicing income / spare parts sales)

@Oh stop Bitching

"If you want amazing plots, go read a book."

I could not agree more.. Some of my favourite books / book series have long arcing storylines that would be impossible to convey in a 2 hour movie, or even a series of movies. I read books for an engaging story, and films to be entertained for a couple of hours.

Occasionally you come across a fantastic film that ticks both boxes ("Fight Club" and "The Usual Suspects" spring to mind) but these are few and far between.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed Avatar - I even took my Dad & Step Mum to see it when they visited one time and they both stayed awake all the way through - which is a bloody astonishing feat let me tell you!! :-)
